Casual Friday: Top five must-have trainers

Yay. It’s Friday and the weekend awaits. For many of you this will will mean chilling out at home, meeting up with friends, but most importantly the fact that you get to swap those work clothes and heels for jeans and trainers.

And some of you may already be doing that just now, with lots of companies giving their staff dress down Friday.

Over the years trainers have become a huge fashion statement moving from the gym into ever fashionista’s shoe collection. And of course companies, including DKNY and Chanel, have wised up to this creating stylish footwear that is perfect for the casual look without looking as though you’re heading off to exercise. This season it’s all about 80s Converse, pimped up plimsolls and blingtastic sneakers.

Here’s ShinyStyle’s highstreet top 5 for that weekend chillout or as a wellie alternative at festivals.
